Dungeon Defense (WN)

* * *

Continental force, early June 1511.

Across the summer winds, allies have gathered successfully in the northeast of Frank.

This was a very important time to harvest crops. Even the warlord didn't raise an army around this time. I might ruin my summer farming all at once. This was also when the territory rebelled violently against the summons.

In other words, the Demon Lord's army was perfectly adequate to invade the human world.

Unlike humans, magic was not involved in farming. Humans were strongly constrained in deciding the time of war, whereas the Demon Prince's army was almost completely free.

There must be a reason why knights have developed so highly in this world. Power is needed to counteract magic, no matter where it is farming. However, if we grow too many troops, we will reduce the manpower required for farming. In other words, the correct answer is only a small army of soldiers... ….

It's a curiosity. The world is different just because monsters exist.

It is imperative that knights academy be established throughout the country. We must have cavalry forces in place so that the Democrats can move quickly in any direction. Well, maybe there's one way to build a defensive line with powerful fortresses on each Node.

Will you concentrate on the Knights? Or will I concentrate on the fortress....

Each has its pros and cons. In general, human nations have mixed the two directions appropriately. The Habsburg Empire was a typical case. The Kingdom of Brittany, on the other hand, has drastically cultivated knights.

Even the royal archipelago of Brittany has no walls. It was destroyed about 500 years ago, but strangely enough, the Brittanians destroyed it themselves, not by magic.

I don't care why.

“Walls are for cowards. ”

“Citizens will hesitate to train themselves because they think they can settle against the wall, and will run away if they do not fight desperately in the field. ”

“Therefore, the wall is a shortcut that turns the entire people into weakened people. ”

It is an astonishingly simple and ignorant argument.

What's even more amazing is that the Brittanians have been very passionate about supporting this claim! Citizens grabbed their pickaxes and knocked down the walls, and the massive stone used to build another Academy...

Wouldn't it be nice to think of it as some kind of mental illness? You're a combatant of muscles to the brain.

“Like this, Brittany fancies the field. ”

Laura said she held a tactical meeting as soon as the vanguard and the headquarters joined.

In the vast barracks are the princes of the devil dressed in fancy armor. Laura explained the operation, face to face with one of the Demon King calmly.

“The Brittany is specialized, mentally, structurally and only in the field. There were three great fortresses in the northeast of Frank that we passed, but the Brittany army did not defend them at all. I was totally distracted.”

Perhaps the vanguard of the Franks ordered a field. It was definitely abnormal considering that the Humans were extremely reluctant to fight in monsters and fields.

“It seems ignorant and consuming at first glance... … but even in that room, the Brittany Army is specialized in maneuvering. Let's call it maneuvering defense. ”

“…… Maneuver Defense? That's the first I've heard of it. ”

Barbato tilts his head.

Barbato was weak in the summer, by the way. Even though it wasn't that hot in the summer, there were sweaty drops on my forehead. It was difficult because of the strange erosion of wet sternum. Well, I've decided. Tonight we meet Barbato.

“ ……. ”

The puppet emperor, Rudolf von Habsburg, holds a huge debt. He was politely flirting with Barbatos. The General waved a debt to one of his commanders, and he was a dead man.

“A maneuver is a maneuver, and a defense is a defense. What is a maneuver? ”

“Usually the goal of a defensive battle is to 'stop the enemy.' Raising a siege around a fortress is one of those defenses. In this case, the Siege and Agricultural sides are slowly consuming each other's power and waiting for the verdict to come. ”

Laura said in a calm, joyful tone somewhere.

“Soldiers' deception, stockpiled food. The winner is determined by which enemy or ally is consumed first. Extremely unlikely, there will be any power consumption before defending. ”

Heidelberg Fortress raid wars were typical.

There are more than a thousand troops in the fortress. But only hundreds of soldiers died in battle. That's how the battle is decided. The rest of you simply wait for the enemy's food to run out.

“Maneuvers, on the other hand, mean the annihilation of the enemy. They're going to focus their elite troops on one place, and they're going to make a grand slalom, and they're going to make a war decision in one go. The Brittany are obsessed with one battle. ”

This must be a typical case of the Saint-Denis Plains battle. It was a battle I drew to defeat.

“That's why Brittany will be so focused on spinning where they want, when they want. ”

“Hmph.”

“We have a strategy against this. ”

Laura smiles softly.

“As you know, there's been a massive purge in the Parisian room. Parisian citizenship must have been devastating. As Queen Henrietta, we have no choice but to fear a rebellion. In case anything happens, Queen Henrietta won't be dragging her troops far away. That is.”

Near Parisian Rooms.

A fairly wide and flat area for the knights to do their best work.

“You must choose a battlefield that meets these conditions. The battlefield is not worth considering for the Brittany army. because fortresses are built primarily on hills and narrow roads. ”

Laura points at the map with the baton.

“So our troops are using Brittany's strategy thoroughly. ”

* * *

“Our armies set up camp behind the Marne River. ”

Queen Henrietta said.

Marne was a river flowing just east of the Parisian room. Longevity workers greeted the Queen with a look they did not understand.

“Your Grace, the Marne River is too close to Parisian rooms. Enemies are swinging inland, but it's not right to venture any further, is it? ”

“No. They say they've purged us of the Resistance, but there's still a lot of guys hiding like rats. ”

Queen Henrietta shakes her head decisively.

“Parisian hospitality is not good because they executed men and women. If the rats provoke us like this, there will be an uprising. The farther away we are from the Parisian room, the greater the chances of rebellion. ”

“Yes, you're right. ”

The merchants nod. But there was still a question that remained unsolved.

“But why leave the river behind? It's against the law... ”

“It's bait to draw the enemy in. ”

Queen Henrietta smiles.

“Our retreat will be blocked by the enemy. He'll think he pushed us into a corner without putting any effort into it. Given the qualities of the Demon Prince who avoids siege wars and prefers the field, they will definitely start the battle. ”

Humanity has traditionally responded to the invasion of the Demon King. This was common sense. Queen Henrietta was pointing to the point.

“Maybe you're lucky we're not stuck in the Parisian room. Gentlemen, we will end the Demon King's army in one fell swoop. ”

He was absent from the meeting, but the Brittany Army was being concealed by the Demon King Agarass. Queen Henrietta knew how powerful the Demon King was. She was on the verge of revenge, and mentioned several times that she would be willing to cooperate with her if she could kill Barbatos.

It will be a difficult battle. But the consequences were not guaranteed, so she had no intention of avoiding the battle. That was the confidence of the Brittany Army.

* * *

As Laura is confident, the Brittany army does not come out to greet us.

Thanks to you, we were quite free to travel inland across Frank. I made it all the way to the Marne River without any resistance, and it was as comfortable as a picnic. But everyone knew that this was the calm before the storm.

Barbatos gazes over the plain.

“Hey, look at you guys! He's in a ditch. ”

The Brittany forces have set up a vigorous camp behind the river.

Barbatos and other military executives have been mounted on their horses and inspected the enemy camp. We have about 30,000 to 40,000 troops. Our troops are far behind us, but the problem was also the Knights.

Nearly twenty of the Knights' flags are flaring. It seemed like all the knights in the country had been dragged away. I can't imagine a more disgusting sight for the Demon army. It's like an infantry facing an endless march of trenches in World War I.

Barbatos chuckles.

“That's not a fight we're gonna fight if we die here. I like Henrietta or something. Hey, Zephyr. Look. The Green Rose Knights. It'll be nice to see you. Wave to me. ”

“... You're too kind, Mr. Barbatos. ”

Commander Zephar lets out a rare hiss.

The great tactician who retaliated in a single Ogre assault against the Knights was Captain Jeopar, and the Green Rose Knights were the ones who used the Ogres recklessly. Perhaps it's because of the trauma he's been experiencing, Commander Zephar's face has frozen.

Laura said calmly.

“We've got a place to retreat, so we'll fight to the death for all our soldiers." Going in there is not the plan. Let's start with the timing. ”

We set up camp a long way from the enemy camp.

At this point, Laura ordered us to make it look like we were going to fight a war. I've got an ogre squadron on the front like I'm about to charge over there right now. The Demon Kings' flags flare brightly as if they were seen.

However, the battle did not take place after three days, a week, and a full moon.

Finally, I sent a letter to see if they were looking forward to it. It was written by Queen Henrietta herself, with ridicule and ridicule on Rudolf von Habsburg. Yo wanted to see the battle in one game, because there was nothing good in both of them if he tried to win the war.

Laura simply replied.

“Friends don't intend to teach you how to fight. Take care of your soldiers. ”

Severe neurometastases followed.

Both sides delicately laid out their fences and waited for each other to attack first. The Brittanys occasionally brought in archers, and I couldn't have been hit the same way. I brought a huge javelin for this. We simply responded with an Orc javelin.

Did you realize this side was heavily guarded? The Brittany army has not been aggressively aggressive. There was an ongoing small-scale encounter with reconnaissance.

“No, how long are you going to stand there, Deputy Commander? ”

“Laura. Just once, okay? Please allow me to charge just once. ”

The stuffy thing was the same here. Brother Veled and Citri continue to insist that we charge forward, please. Even the fierce Demon Kings slowly began to complain. But every time, Laura smiled as if she didn't know.

“No. ”

Brother Veled and Citri looked at Barbato and Pymon, respectively, with tears...

“Do as Laura says. ”

“Beg your pardon, Deputy Commander, and do as you're told, Citri. ”

The commanders who knew how important command was, couldn't help but notice. Eventually, the progressive Demon Kings had to bury anxiety in their hearts and spend their time without hesitation.

That's how the full moon fell.
